More stars are joining the already stellar line-up for Disney’s Disenchanted, the sequel to Enchanted

Joining the previously announced Amy Adams, Idina Menzel, James Marsden and Patrick Dempsey will be Glee star Jayma Mays, Saturday Night Live’s Maya Rudolph and Community’s Yvette Nicole Brown. Early reports are suggesting that Rudolph may be playing a villain. 

Hairspray and Glee director Adam Shankman is set to direct the much-anticipated sequel with legendary Disney composer Alan Menken (Beauty and the Beast, The Little Mermaid, Aladdin, Newsies) and fellow legend Stephen Schwartz (Wicked, Pippin, The Prince of Egypt) on music and lyrics. 

Production is expected to begin later this year with a release date yet to be set.
